4th October 2022

It was a relatively overcast day, with a moderate south-westerly wind and temperatures reaching 18 degrees C. Two Little Gulls flew south during the morning’s seawatch together with 36 Teal, 31 Red-throated Divers and two Arctic Skuas. A Ruff frequented South Landing beach, with two Yellow-browed Warblers in the nearby ravine. Another Yellow-browed Warbler lingered at South Dykes, with a lone Brambling also present. A lone Snow Bunting overflew the cliff top at Bempton.
